Marching Bulldogs Uniform Information

As most of you know, we are getting brand new uniforms for the Marching Bulldogs this year. We have worked really hard to raise the funds necessary to replace our full inventory of marching band uniforms. This is a huge expense, therefore the uniforms must be well taken care of so they can last us another 10 years. The responsible care of these uniforms is the responsibility of all members of our Marching Bulldogs band family.

With our new uniforms, we are transitioning to a new type of bibber. The new bibber (pants) are lycra and stretchy, designed to breathe better in the Florida heat and allow our Marching Bulldogs to move more freely during performances. Because of these new bibbers, we have a new "sub-uniform" requirement for all instrumentalists.

Sub-Uniform
To be worn by all instrumentalists under the marching band uniform.
(There is no sub-uniform for Colorguard.)
  • white DHS band hat (1st one provided with band fair share)
  • show shirt OR spirit shirt (1st one provided with band fair share)
  • black compression/bike shorts NEW ITEM
    • ​NO athletic shorts are to be worn under the bibber as these will bunch up and show through
    • Students must purchase their own compression or bike shorts. The brand does not matter.
    • Here are a couple of examples of what to look for. You do not have to purchase these exact ones, just something similar.
  • long black socks (crew length or longer) (1st pair provided with band fair share)
  • black Dinkles marching shoes (must be ordered through the band)

Casual Uniform (Instrumentalists)
To be worn by all marching band members when specified by the director (in lieu of full uniforms).
  • white DHS band hat
  • show shirt OR spirit shirt 
  • khaki (tan) shorts 
    • Students must purchase their own khaki shorts. Shorts must be dress code length. The brand does not matter.
    • Here are a couple of examples of what to look for. You do not have to purchase these exact ones, just something similar.
  • sneakers/athletic shoes (brand does not matter)
  • low ankle length socks

Casual Uniform (Colorguard)
To be worn by all guard members when specified by the director (in lieu of costumes).
  • show shirt OR spirit shirt 
  • black leggings
    • Students must purchase their own black leggings. The brand does not matter. Just make sure they are thick enough that you can't see through them.
    • For an example CLICK HERE. You do not have to purchase these exact ones, just something similar.
  • black Nike brand sneakers with a white check
